German Court Grants Motorola Xbox and Windows 7 Sales Ban

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday May 2, 2012 @02:49AM from the google-subsidiaries-may-do-infinte-evil dept.

First time accepted submitter Celexi writes "In a surprising move, Motorola Mobility (which is to be taken over by Google), has won an injunction preventing the distribution of Windows 7 and the Xbox in Germany until Microsoft starts paying royalty fees for the patents Microsoft is said to be infringing (two patents used to display H.264 video). The ruling is suspended as of now because of a restraining order, the effect in the rest of the EU and U.S. if the ban is enforced if the restraining order is lifted, is unclear." This could go into effect as soon as May 7th, pending the result of the next U.S. case hearing.

You are either delusional or a shill.
